I made a mistake on my Tax Return about my son as Non-Dependent as his Mom get's to claim him as a Dependent this year. I've submitted mine electronically and it was accepted and now she's trying to submit her's but it won't accept it as she's claiming him as her Dependent. So she can't file until mine is revised.... How can I revise and resubmit electronically?

She can file at any time with the child as a dependent on her tax return. But her return can only be printed and and mailed, it cannot be e-filed since the IRS has already received a tax return with the dependent's SSN. And amending your return will still not allow her to e-file.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.
Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-a...
You will have to amend your return. She will have to print and mail her return this year even if you amend. So she doesn't have to wait for your return to clear.
You should not amend until the first return has fully processed and you get the first refund or your tax due payment has cleared.
